Prior to this release, Snapchatters were limited to a single line of text with a measly 31 characters per caption (for reference, 31 characters looks something like "Plz give us more text, Snapchat" or "Give us more words, pretty plz!"). The update adds an additional line of text and allows users to showcase their wit in a whopping 80 characters.

Though advanced Snapchat users were probably already using the copy and paste hack to stretch their captions, this update makes longer captions universal for all. With these 80 characters, you can now upgrade your Snap captions from mere short (Snapchat) stories to borderline novellas. What a time to be alive.

UPDATE: Hold the phone—Snapchat just released yet another major update, this time for face swap. With this latest version, users can switch likenesses with images stored on their camera roll. There's one obvious catch, however: They need to be images of faces. Snapchat will sort your pics accordingly and, through the app, you'll be able to pull photos that register for the new face swap. The update is currently only available on iOS but will likely be released for Android. Until then, happy Snapping.
